What can you do when the Packet Loss your having is out in the middle of your hops to the game? If you search for above.net and packet loss you'll find a ton of complaints about them.

This is something you should bring up to your ISP.

this is something Square needs to address, their servers are made of shit. too many people right now are DCing for no reason and there not doing anything about it.

SE don't own above.net or as6453.net, so it's not like there's anything they can do. Your ISP is partially responsible for which routes you take across the Internet, so you need to talk to them to ask them to try and route you differently.

This has nothing to do with SE. This is strictly an ISP issue. These issues have existed since the internet was invented. There are just really cheap, shoddy ISP all over this country, and we'd be better off if we had nationalized internet like we did with telephone.

That said, there's still lots of other issues that we can pin the blame on SE for. Like an easily exploitable database that you just need to write Javascript to take advantage of.
